Merrimack Hall's Executive Director and Co-Founder Debra Jenkins Receives Traditional Home Magazine's 2009 Classic Woman Award

Merrimack Hall's Executive Director and Co-Founder Debra Jenkins has been chosen as one of six women to receive Traditional Home magazine's 2009 Classic Woman Award. Traditional Home Editor in Chief Ann Maine will honor Jenkins at the magazine's premier Classic Woman Awards luncheon in New York City on November 24. The event will honor all six recipients of the magazine's fifth-annual Classic Woman Awards, a signature program that celebrates the spirit of volunteerism by recognizing standout charitable women from across the country.

In previous issues and on its Web site, Traditional Home invited its 4.7 million readers to nominate a woman who is making a positive difference in her community. The magazine's editorial staff and the judges pored over the nominations to choose six women who truly are changing the world one day, one person at a time.

The six honorees will receive a trip to New York City, where they will be honored at the Classic Woman Awards luncheon in November. In addition, each honoree's chosen cause will receive a contribution from Traditional Home. The women and their causes are also featured in the magazine's upcoming November 2009 issue, which will hit newsstands October 20.

Make sure to pick up a copy of the current issue of Traditional Home magazine (November 2009), on newsstands now, to read about all six outstanding women!
